It's not even school holidays, you cannot be that bored!

Well they are from Melbourne! No doubt he's into aerial ping pong and all.

Unless we get European football next season, and at this stage it's unlikely, we won't need all of them, which makes it even more likely two of the current first team midfielders will go. I'm interested to hear others alternatives?

It's kind of where the club is though, isn't it? Ashley left the squad in such a state that any glimmer of local talent, is currently worth more as a saleable asset. Think of the shite that are still on the books and worth nothing: Hayden, Hendrick, Fraser, Lewis - only Hendrick is off the books at the end of this season.

KCC, if you were to look at our midfield and order them strongest to weakest, where do you honestly place Anderson? I don't see who besides Ciggy that I would place him in front of? Bruno>Tonali>Big Joe>Little Joe>Miley>Anderson>Longstaff - you could possibly swap 2nd to 4th in the order of your preference, same with 5th to 7th but for me Miley at 17 has a lot more potential. Those last three are worth more to the club in FFP value than their betters. Just trying to look at this from a business sense from the club's perspective.

Would he be happy to be 2nd or 3rd choice? That's what will happen if he stays.

Everything said above is true and yes it is a wonderfully romantic notion to have as many local players in the squad but we cannot keep them all. When it comes down to it do you want Brunos and Big Joes or Longstaffs and Andersons (I don't think EA has the legs/speed to be a Howe first team player). And honestly, are they going to be happy being second or third choice for the position they play? Perfect world we have some locals in the stiffs, that will never be better than mid-table PL or Championship club players that Ashworth's first job at Man U is to over pay us for them and the leftovers are off to Forest. But we currently don't and are a long way off, having that conveyor belt of academy players.

They are the weakest of our midfielders and it's not like we are short of homegrown players.

Not sure why you are so keen for Gordon to make the squad. He needs a holiday and you know if he was in the squad he'd either sit on the bench for all but 5 minutes in some dead rubber group game and/or be knackered for the season by some league 2 level defender playing for Latvia in said game. AG10 needs to do nothing but his bouncy missus for the summer.

Then Anderson. They are pure profit for FFP.

Thank fuck for that, the team needed an extra lift. @Howmanheyman, congrats Ciaoman but no shirking your correspondence duties!

We've not had the greatest luck with mercurial French CBs though. Far more success from the surrounding countries.

Says the man at midnight on a Monday evening/Tuesday morning!

The only negative I have about Ginola, is he chose to leave us for those Spurs cunts, funny I don't have that problem with Sir Les! Robert, HBA, Ollie Bernard, even ASM all had the decency to either be forced out by a fuckwit manager and/or fuck off to another country. Now N'Zogbia on the other hand, never knew what he had and deserved to end up wallowing with the beige cunts.

Unfortunately the hat doesn't fit, because of my topknot, you should try it on Scotty, might make you look younger.

Look like implants to me but I though @Rebekah might have liked them.

Mate, you've already won by a landslide. Enjoy your trophy.

No time to rest of your laurels lads, play as team, keep your form and make us proud. Fortiter Defendit Triumphans It's sausage waving time! And making sure everyone is included.

Did six horses actually finish? Steeplechases and hurdles are ridiculous carnage for racing horses.

Ah fuck, Scotty's kiss of death.

Congrats, you've won the internet.

Nice of Fulham to do us a favour and great to see the referee's association ensuring Liverpool have enough ET to get a winner. The cunts are going to do everything in their power to give them the Klopp wet dream.

And yes I'm going to say is, @aimaad22 what a small pathetic person you are. Gordon on the other hand is a prince of players. His game is nowhere near what it was at the beginning of the season but he has run and run and run. There were points in the first half where he didn't chase things he would normally but then in the second half there were moments where he chased and snuffed out potential counter attacks. I'd like see him have an opportunity for a rest but only if he wants/feels he needs it.

Not unless his missus' new business is as his pimp.

No need to be a cunt. Unless we are guaranteed to buy new second and third choice striker, we are best sign him on a new, much lower paid, or even pay as you play contract. There is no way in hell, with all the FFP and PSR happenings that we are going to buy all the players that need replacing.
